He'll make you mow the grass and do it for free
When you think you're done, he'll say, "Rake the leaves"
He'll say it builds character, but it's ninety degrees
You'll cuss him under your breath
He'll make you mow the grass and do it for free
When you think you're done, he'll say, "Rake the leaves"
He'll say it builds character, but it's ninety degrees
You'll cuss him under your breath
He won't let you quit your football team
Or hang with the kid who lives down the street
Cause he heard he smokes dope and got holes in his jeans
Lookin' back, he was right, I guess
[Chorus]
Things dads do
He'll act like he does when he don't have a clue
And I know it seems
Like he's flyin' by the seat of his outta style jeans
You'll get embarrassed when he ruins your cool
When he pulls out his camera on your first day of school
And that's just a few things dads do
[Verse 2]
He'll hand you the keys to a hand-me-down truck
And take 'em right back when you tear it up
On your first broken heart, he'll say, "Son, tell you what
Let's talk it out over a beer"
And when you get married, he'll be your best man
And pay for the booze and a bad cover band
And he'll give a long speech and say this was God's plan
And try not to cry, but he will
[Chorus]
Things dads do
Give you his old recliner for your new living room
And he'll call too much
And out of the blue without asking to show up
He'll give you advice about your career
Complain and ask why your fridge is full of weird beer
That's just a few things dads do
[Post-Chorus]
Oh, woah, woah
Woah, woah
[Bridge]
He'll sit in the waitin' room, chewin' Red Man
Til the doctor comes out and says, "Y'all, come on in"
He'll say she looks perfect, then shake your hand
And say, "Now you'll understand"
[Chorus]
Things dads do (Dad's do)
You'll think it's crazy until you're one too
And you'll lose your mind (Your mind)
In a couple years, sleepin' just three months time
But next thing you know, one's five and one's three
And one's almost one and she's cuttin' her teeth
And you're in his shoes
And you're startin' to
Do more than a few things dads do
[Outro]
Yeah, things dads do
Things dads do
Han får dig til at klippe græsset og gøre det gratis
Når du tror, du er færdig, vil han sige, "rake bladene"
Han vil sige, at det bygger karakter, men det er halvfems grader
Du vil cuss ham under din ånde
Han vil ikke lade dig afslutte dit fodboldhold
Eller hænge med barnet, der bor ned ad gaden
Fordi han hørte, at han ryger dope og fik huller i hans jeans
Lookin 'tilbage, han havde ret, tror jeg
[Kor]
Ting dads do.
Han vil handle som han gør, når han ikke har en anelse
Og jeg ved, det ser ud til
Ligesom han er flyin 'ved sædet for hans outta stil jeans
Du bliver flov over, når han ødelægger din seje
Når han trækker sit kamera ud på din første skoledag
Og det er bare et par ting, dads gør
[Vers 2]
Han vil give dig nøglerne til en hånd-down truck
Og tag dem lige tilbage, når du river det op
På dit første knuste hjerte vil han sige: "Son, fortælle hvad
Lad os tale det ud over en øl "
Og når du bliver gift, vil han være din bedste mand
Og betale for sprut og et dårligt coverband
Og han vil give en lang tale og sige, at dette var Guds plan
Og prøv ikke at græde, men han vil
[Kor]
Ting dads do.
Giv dig sin gamle hvilestol til din nye stue
Og han kalder for meget
Og ud af det blå uden at bede om at dukke op
Han vil give dig råd om din karriere
Klage og spørg hvorfor dit køleskab er fuld af rare øl
Det er bare et par ting, dads gør
[Post-chorus]
Åh, Woah, Woah
Woah, Woah.
[Bro]
Han vil sidde i Waitin 'værelse, chewin' rød mand
Indtil lægen kommer ud og siger, "kom du ind i"
Han vil sige, at hun ser perfekt ud, så ryst din hånd
Og sig: "Nu forstår du"
[Kor]
Ting dads do (far's do)
Du tror det er vanvittigt, før du er en også
Og du vil miste dit sind (dit sind)
I et par år, sovein 'kun tre måneder
Men næste ting du ved, ens fem og en tre
Og ens næsten en og hun er cuttin 'hendes tænder
Og du er i hans sko
Og du starter til
Gør mere end et par ting dads gør
[Outro]
Ja, ting dads gør
Ting dads do.
